Oklahoma Miner Training Institute

The Oklahoma Miner Training Institute (OMTI) is operated under the direction of the Oklahoma Mining Commission. The Institute, located at Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton, provides training in all aspects of mine safety and health.
Regularly scheduled classes are provided at the school, or at the mine sites throughout the state, to minimize the inconvenience to both miners and operators. All training provided by the Institute is free of charge to the mining companies who hold permits in Oklahoma.
